Movie review: There's plenty to chew on in 'Beatriz at Dinner'
If you're a Mexican immigrant invited to dine with President Donald Trump, what would you do, and what would you say during the breaking of bread? Would you be polite and try to ignore the narcissistic bluster? Or, would you get in his face — maybe even hurl a cellphone his way? That's Salma Hayek's dilemma in the appetizing "Beatriz at Dinner," the latest make-them-squirm social satire from the astute team of writer Mike White and director Miguel Arteta.
Like their previous collaborations, "Chuck & Buck" and "The Good Girl," the didactic duo zero in on a marginalized protagonist butting heads with the people who hold power over them. In this case, that would be Hayek's Beatriz, a border-crosser who overcame great hardship to start a holistic healing enterprise predicated on massaging both the minds and bodies of her often terminally ill clients. One of her biggest fans is Cathy (Connie Britton), the Orange County socialite who credits Beatriz with saving the life of her now college-age daughter.
Theirs is a fascinating, ill-defined relationship. They're not really friends, yet they share a spiritual bond, which explains why Cathy thinks nothing of asking Beatriz to stay for her lavish dinner party after the masseuse's car breaks down in front of Cathy's Newport Beach mansion. Joining them at the table will be Cathy's patient businessman husband, Grant (David Warshofsky), his unctuous legal-eagle colleague, Alex (Jay Duplass), the counselor's social-climbing wife, Shannon (Chloe Sevigny), and the guest of honor, real-estate titan, Doug Strutt (John Lithgow) and his wife No. 3, Jeana (Amy Landecker).
Any similarities between Mr. Strutt and a certain occupant of the White House are purely intentional — and a tad too obvious. If you like Trump, you'll find Strutt to be a magnetic captain of industry, albeit a tad too condescending. If you despise the president, you'll vigorously hiss and rage with contempt. White and Arteta clearly fall in this latter camp, taking every opportunity to expose Strutt for the selfish jerk he is. And that can be daunting. Heck, even Trump's biggest detractors admit the guy has charm. Giving Strutt a little of the same might have made Beatriz's chore of tolerating him more compelling than it is.
Still, it's fun watching Hayek and Lithgow work magic with their paper-thin characters, repeatedly butting heads in an escalating challenge to retain the upper hand in a caste war that grows increasingly bloody. It's a battle we helplessly watch Beatriz fight alone, as the other guests also begin to turn against what amounts to a Christ figure, right down to her living with goats and other less-fortunate critters. The point, which we're clobbered over the head with, is that Beatriz is a healer and protector and the wealthy prigs are takers and destroyers of everything good about our fragile planet.
The resulting confrontations are sure to get you jazzed, but the content should have been deeper, and at a mere 80 minutes, "Beatriz at Dinner" could have easily have gone longer. And it would not have been a strain, considering all seven people, and the actors playing them, are great company, even when talk turns to taking paradise and putting up a parking lot. That's particularly true of Hayek, who glams down considerably to lose herself in the best role she's had since garnering an Oscar nomination for her unforgettable portrayal of artist Frida Kahlo in "Frida." As Beatriz, Hayek is a textbook study on how to do a slow burn, as her character — fueled by too much wine — evolves from polite chatter to murderous intent. It's intriguing watching her gradually summon Beatriz's courage and hutzpah to speak truth to power, which makes it all the more disappointing that White and Arteta leave her hanging out to try in the film's frustratingly bleak ending. Like Trump's blue-collar worshippers, they defy their own self-interests. It makes no sense. But you can't deny, as is, "Dinner" still gives you plenty to chew on.

After about a decade of relative dominance with the NES and Super NES, followed by a decade of relative also-ran status with the Nintendo 64 and GameCube, Nintendo shocked the gaming world with the stratospheric success of the Wii. With a rock-bottom price, innovative new motion-sensitive controller, and the easy-to-understand, everyman appeal of games like Wii Sports and Wii Fit, the system went on to ship nearly 100 million units worldwide. But for its wide commercial success, many long-time gamers quickly grew disillusioned with the Wii, thanks to underpowered hardware that couldn't handle HD graphics and a software library that came to be dominated by nearly skill-free, "waggle-the-controller" mini-game collections.
With the Wii U, Nintendo seems to be trying to recapture the original Wii's sales magic while at the same time mollifying some of the lifelong gamers disillusioned by its predecessor. Instead of the motion-sensitive remote, the new control gimmick is a touchscreen tablet controller that can be used to play games while the TV is otherwise occupied, or to present secret information to only one player during multiplayer games. For more traditional gamers, the company is stressing the system's long-overdue HD graphics support, greater support for downloadable games, an Xbox 360-style controller option, and Wii U conversions for titles ranging from Batman: Arkham City to the upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines.
On Thursday, Nintendo seems set to finally nail down the details of the promised "holiday season" launch and price point for the Wii U at a New York press event, officially ushering in the "next generation" of home game consoles. The announcement will likely also include the final details of the system's hardware specifications and which titles we can expect during the months-long "launch window." (We'll be there to liveblog the proceedings.)
Before that big announcement, we're asking you, Ars readers, what would it take to get you interested in purchasing the Wii U? Is there a certain price point where the system goes from "impulse buy" to "think about it" to "forget it"? Is there a certain company or game series whose appearance on the system would finally prove to you that Nintendo has resolved its historically bad relations with many third-party publishers? Would more openness to independent developers or player-created content win you over? Maybe Nintendo never lost your support, or perhaps there's nothing you can picture them doing that will win you back.
Whatever the case, leave your thoughts in the comments below, and we'll choose some of the best to feature here ahead of Nintendo's big announcement on Thursday.

Cellphone law new challenge for drivers in 2014
For incessant multitaskers who can't stop talking while driving, life will include some bitter medicine when the new year rolls in.
Starting Jan. 1, motorists can talk and drive only if they use a hands-free device to conduct cellphone conversations. That will dramatically change the day-to-day routine for millions of Illinoisans, or force them to shop around for yet another high-tech device for the car.
The uniform ban supplements the state's current ban on texting and replaces assorted local laws on cellphone use that vary from town to town, including Chicago, where a cellphone ban has been in place since 2006.
Violators face fines starting at $75, and repeat offenses bring the possibility of a suspended license.
The thought is sobering for Josh Clark, who commutes 30 miles from his home in Lincoln to work in Springfield each day. Clarks says he spends, on average, 75 percent of his car time on the phone, and foresees a different kind of distraction and inconvenience with the new rules and people using hands-free phone technology.
"Getting it (the Bluetooth) to sync is more distracting than holding a phone to your ear," Clark said.
State Sen. John Mulroe, a Chicago Democrat who sponsored the law, said witnessing several near-accidents during trips to Springfield convinced him that "hands on the wheel and eyes on the road are the way to go." While he says the law won't eliminate distractions, he hopes it'll cut down on accidents.
Here's how the new law will work:
The new law bans drivers from using a mobile phone unless they use hands-free technology to conduct a conversation. A driver is allowed by law, however, to press a single button on a phone to begin or end a conversation.
The law permits exceptions on the ban during emergencies, or if a driver is parked on the shoulder. A driver also will be allowed to use a hand-held cellphone if a car is in neutral or in park, or if the car is stopped because normal traffic is obstructed.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 12 states along with the District of Columbia prohibit using hand-held cellphones while driving. A total of 41 states and the District of Columbia ban text messaging.
For starters, turn off the cellphone. If that's not possible, there are a number of wireless technology solutions that allow electronic devices to connect remotely. Some newer cars have built-in systems that sync cellphones with car speakers. Owners of older vehicles can buy kits that integrate their phones and stereo systems. A driver also could use a headset, but state law mandates that it cover only one ear.
Violators will be fined $75 for a first offense, and as much as $150 for repeat offenses as well as having a moving violation on their driving record. Three moving violations within a year could lead to a driver's license being suspended.
A separate new law increases penalties for distracted drivers found to have caused crashes. Distracted drivers causing injuries face up to a year in prison, and up to $2,500 in fines. Drivers involved in fatal accidents face fines of up to $25,000 and three years in jail.
Mulroe, a former Cook County assistant state's attorney, said he pushed the law after being nearly sideswiped on Interstate 55 by a woman twirling her hair with one hand and talking on the phone with the other.
"She must have been driving with her knees," he said. The father of four said he began to think about the safety of his kids, whose "phones are attached to their hands and it's hard to keep conversations with them."
Evidence is mixed on whether the law will improve safety. The U.S. Department of Transportation says you're four times more likely to be injured in an accident if you're on a hand-held phone. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a nonprofit organization funded by auto insurers, says it's not clear if there's a difference between having the phone to your ear and using a hands-free device, after studying crash data in four states before and after cellphone bans.
The bill is HB1247

Sneak Peek: Spartacus Prepares for the End With War of the Damned
You'd think it would be difficult - if not impossible - to keep fans happy when they know their hero is about to die. But the folks behind Spartacus: War of the Damned don't seem too worried. In fact, as the Starz series prepares to launch its final season on Jan. 25, creator Steven S. DeKnight reminds us that Spartacus' death at the hands of his Roman oppressors is "not unlike the story of the Titanic. It's no big secret the boat will sink. It's how you get there that keeps the audience invested."
In War of the Damned, the former gladiator (Liam McIntyre) leads a massive, growing army of rebel slaves. That soon pits him against the up-and-coming Julius Caesar (Todd Lasance) and Rome's hotshot military commander Marcus Crassus (Simon Merrells). The latter ultimately defeated Spartacus, who - depending on which history you read - either perished in battle or was captured and crucified. Whichever way, "we will leave our fans with quite a gut punch," promises DeKnight. "But the final episode is also rousing and inspiring and really beautiful. I was moved to tears in the editing room - and I wrote the damn thing!"

'Argo' named best film at Britain's Oscars
LONDON - Iran-hostage drama "Argo" continued its journey from awards-season outsider to favorite Sunday, winning three prizes, including best-picture, at the British Academy Film Awards.
Ben Affleck was named best director for the based-on-reality story of a longshot plan to rescue a group of American diplomats from Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and the film also took the editing trophy.
Affleck, who has made a remarkable journey from little-regarded actor to award-winning director, dedicated his directing prize for "anyone out there who's trying to get their second act."
George Clooney, a producer of "Argo," quipped: "I don't know what you're going to do for a third act."
Daniel Day-Lewis won his universally expected best-actor trophy for "Lincoln" - the only prize out of 10 nominations for Steven Spielberg's historical biopic.
Emmanuelle Riva, the 85-year-old French film legend, was named best actress for Michael Haneke's poignant old-age portrait "Amour." It also was named best foreign-language film.
Made-in-Britain French revolutionary musical "Les Miserables" won four prizes, including best supporting actress for Anne Hathaway. James Bond adventure "Skyfall" spied some elusive awards recognition, winning trophies for music and best British film.
The British awards, known as BAFTAs, are increasingly glamorous - despite a well-earned reputation for dismal weather - and ever-more scrutinized as an indicator of likely success at the Hollywood Oscars. In recent years they have prefigured Academy Awards triumph for word-of-mouth hits such as "Slumdog Millionaire," ''The King's Speech" and "The Artist."
This year they spread their honors widely, with multiple trophies for "Life of Pi," ''Silver Linings Playbook," ''Amour" and "Django Unchained," as well as "Argo."
Kathryn Bigelow's Osama bin Laden thriller "Zero Dark Thirty" was shut out of the prizes, despite five nominations.
This season's movie with momentum is crowd-pleaser "Argo," which has been building steam with big prizes at ceremonies such as the Golden Globes, the Producers Guild and the Directors Guild of America Awards.
It is now considered a front-runner for the best picture award at the Oscars on Feb. 24, even though Affleck was not nominated for best director.
"Argo" marks a change for Affleck, whose first two features as director - "Gone Baby Gone" and "The Town" - were set in his native Boston. In "Argo" he stars as Tony Mendez, a CIA agent who poses as a sci-fi filmmaker in a risky plot to rescue Americans in Tehran.
"I wanted to get as far away from Boston as I could," Affleck said. "I ended up in Iran."
"Skyfall," the highest-grossing film in the Bond series' 50-year history, was named best British film - rare awards-season recognition for an action movie. Thomas Newman's score also won the best-music prize.
Director Sam Mendes said he was accepting the trophy on behalf of the "1,292 people" who worked on "Skyfall."
"We all had high expectations for this film and it's fair to say all of them have been exceeded," Mendes said. "Here's to the next 50 years."
Quentin Tarantino picked up the original screenplay award for "Django Unchained," and Christoph Waltz was named best supporting actor for playing a loquacious bounty hunter in Tarantino's slave-revenge thriller.
Waltz said his victory was entirely due to Tarantino - "you silver-penned devil, you."
Tarantino also revealed that he plans another film that sets out to right an historical wrong, after anti-Nazi saga "Inglourious Basterds" and "Django Unchained."
"I think there is something about this that begs a trilogy," he said. "I don't know what the third one's going to be yet."
Hathaway said she was "overjoyed" at being named best supporting actress for her brief but powerhouse performance in "Les Miserables." She said she was so taken aback that "I almost walked past George Clooney without hugging him."
She also expressed sympathy for co-star Eddie Redmayne, who had been due to present an award but - co-presenter Sally Field informed the audience - was vomiting backstage.
"Feel better," Hathaway said. "I mean I'd be holding your hair back, but, you know..."
Writer-director David O. Russell won the adapted screenplay prize for "Silver Linings Playbook," a comedy about characters confronting mental illness.
"Les Mis" also took trophies for production design, sound and makeup/hair, and "Life of Pi" received honors for cinematography and visual effects.
Before the ceremony, stars including Clooney, Affleck, Hugh Jackman, Samuel L. Jackson, Amy Adams and Bradley Cooper braved a chilly rain that turned to snow outside the Royal Opera House.
For once it was hair, even more than frocks, that drew attention - many stars opted for dark colors, though Marion Cotillard defied the dull weather in a canary-yellow gown. Beards were de rigeur among male stars including Clooney, Affleck and Cooper, while Helen Mirren turned heads with a pink 'do, sported in honor of breast cancer awareness.
Sunday's ceremony also saw director Alan Parker receive a BAFTA Fellowship, the academy's highest honor, for a career that includes "Midnight Express," ''Fame" and "Mississippi Burning."

9/11 Remembered
Posted by The Situationist Staff on September 11, 2011
A number of Situationist posts have discussed the causes an consequences of the 9/11 attacks or have been related, sometimes only implicitly, to the war on terror. Here is a sample:
- Attributing Blame — from the Baseball Diamond to the War on Terror
- Jeffrey Sachs on the Situation of Global Poverty
- Trampling People While Whistling Rights: Normative Visions, Judicial Realities in Times of Terror
- The Situation of Donations
- "The Situation of Prejudice: Us vs. Them? or Them Is Us?"
- "Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Tenet: 'Guilty',"
- "Lessons Learned from the Abu Ghraib Horrors,"
- "The Justice Department, Milgram, & Torture,"
- "The Bush Frame: Us vs. Them; Good vs. Evil; Intentions vs. Consequences,"
- "Why Torture? Because It Feels Good (at least to "Us"),"
- "Law, Chicken Sexing, Torture Memo, and Situation Sense,"
- "Michael McCullough on the Situation of Revenge and Forgiveness,"
- "New Study Looks at the Roots of Empathy,"
- "The 'Turban Effect',"
- "Jim Sidanius "Terror, Intergroup Violence, and the Law," and
- "The Situation of Being '(un)American'."
One series of posts was devoted to the situational sources of war.
- Part I and Part II of the series included portions of an article co-authored by Daniel Kahneman and Jonathan Renshon, titled "Why Hawks Win."
- Part III reproduced an op-ed written by Situationist friend Dan Gilbert on July 24, 2006.
- Part IV and Part V in the series contained the two halves of an essay written by Situationist Contributor, Jon Hanson within the week following 9/11.
- Part VI contains an op-ed written by Situationist Contributor John Jost on October 1, 2001, "Legitimate Responses to Illegitimate Acts," which gives special emphasis to the role of system justification.
- Part VII includes a video entitled "Resisting the Drums of War." The film was created and narrated by psychologist Roy J. Eidelson, Executive Director of the Solomon Asch Center at the University of Pennsylvania.

Have you begun noticing unexpected ads appearing on unlikely websites while browsing on your Mac? If so, it's possible you've been infected with Trojan.Yontoo.1, which has been identified by Russian anti-virus firm Doctor Web as a malware variant affecting OS X users. No infection numbers were provided and Doctor Web is currently the only company reporting the threat, indicating that it has been fairly limited thus far. Still, its existence shows how Mac users continue to be targeted by malware writers and how easy it is to trick some users into installing it.
Here's how Trojan.Yontoo.1 works. An installer is presented to users as a browser plugin—usually on specially crafted webpages claiming to show movie trailers—but may also present itself as a media player, download accelerator, or "a video quality enhancement program." The installer asks the user if he or she wants to install an app called Free Twit Tube; at that point, the installer downloads the trojan from the Internet, which installs a plugin for all available browsers, including Safari, Firefox, and Chrome.
From there, the Yontoo trojan monitors your Web browsing and, according to Doctor Web, transmits information about what pages you visit to a remote server. It then injects ads into those pages using third-party code, allowing the attackers to collect unauthorized ad views on nearly any website they please. And yes, that includes Apple's own website.
Schemes like this are nothing new to the Windows world (Symantec has a note about Yontoo on Windows) but they're becoming increasingly common for Mac users as well. On the upside, Yontoo doesn't appear to take advantage of any security holes in OS X; it relies entirely upon social engineering to get itself installed on a user's machine. But as we know from past experience, there are ways for malware to make its way onto the Mac without the aid of the user—Apple has already blacklisted older versions of the Java and Flash plugins due to security holes that put even the most conscientious users at risk.

An automated dipstick urinalysis is often done as part of an overall urinalysis, but it can also be done on its own, depending on the doctor's concerns.
Once a urine sample is collected, a nurse or technician will place a specially treated chemical strip (dipstick) into it. Patches on the dipstick will change color to indicate the presence of such things as white blood cells, protein, or glucose.
The dipstick is then placed into a machine that uses beams of light to analyze the color changes. A machine reading can provide more detailed information than a manual reading.
The results of an automated dipstick urinalysis may point to diagnoses such as a urinary tract infection (UTI) or injury, kidney disease, urinary tract trauma, or diabetes. If test results show there might be a problem, other tests may be needed before a definite diagnosis can be made.
No preparation other than cleansing the area around the urethra (urinary opening) is required for the automated dipstick urinalysis.
Your child will be asked to urinate (pee) into a clean sample cup in the doctor's office, lab, or hospital.
The skin surrounding the urinary opening has to be cleansed just before the urine is collected. In this "clean-catch" method, you or your child cleanses the skin around the urinary opening with a special towelette. The child then urinates, stops momentarily, and then urinates again into the collection container. Catching the urine in "midstream" is the goal. Be sure to wash your hands and your child's afterwards.
If your child isn't potty trained and can't urinate into a cup, a doctor or nurse may need to insert a small soft plastic tube (catheter) into the bladder to obtain the urine specimen.
The technician or nurse then will place a dipstick into the urine sample and put the dipstick into an automated reader.
Collecting the urine should only take a few minutes. If your daughter is having her period at the time of the test, let the doctor know.
Because the test involves normal urination, there shouldn't be any discomfort as long as your child can provide a urine sample. It's important to keep the area around the urinary opening clean before the test and to catch the urine sample midstream.
The results of the automated dipstick urinalysis usually do not take long, and your doctor will review them with you. If problems are found, more urine tests may be needed.
No risks are associated with taking an automated dipstick urinalysis. If a catheter is used to obtain the urine, it may cause temporary discomfort. If you have any questions or concerns about this procedure, talk to your doctor.
The automated dipstick urinalysis is painless. Explaining how the test will be conducted and why it's being done can help ease any fear. Make sure your child understands that the urinary opening must be clean and the urine must be collected midstream.
If you have questions about the automated dipstick urinalysis, speak with your doctor.

Spiderman 3 – movie review and box office collections
The movie may have disappointed some people as it has a confused story line, but I found the movie entertaining all through its two and a half hours. Though a little long, it was not in the least slow or boring. The action scenes are awesome, specially the one in which Spiderman saves a girl falling from a building because of a massive crane gone mad. And the special effects – very classy.
I saw the movie a few days ago, and could see it again. Good clean fun. Some of Spidey's fans are disappointed that Tobey Maguire plays a soft sensitive guy (even when he is Spidey, not Peter Parker) and that Kirsten Dunst is not pretty enough, but I didn't mind that. In fact, there was something quite appealing about them, their ordinary next door look. Its a nice change not to have superlooking people playing superheroes everytime as in real life super looking people are not necessarily super heroes. This may deviate from original character of Spiderman in the comic books, but I am not too familiar with Spidey comics. Anyway, the main thing is that both acted superbly.
The movie moves fast, from one dramatic incident to another. An asteroid dropping in the middle of a field, the birth of the Sandman, the alien transforming itself into a black slimy thing which sticks on to Spiderman, Spidey's encounter with his old friend and enemy Harry as a result of which Harry loses his memory and becomes Spidey's pal again…for a while. All this plays in the foreground while in the background is the continuing romance of Peter Parker (Spidey) and his girl, Mary Jane. Quite sweet really.
True, the story is rather long and convoluted, even for a superhero movie, and the suspension from disbelief doesn't weave its magic throughout. I guess Raimi, the director, wanted to give the viewers something more, something more fantastic than the last time, and I think he succeeded. It would have been nice if Raimi had come up with one original, intriguing and blockbuster villain, but well, he couldn't, so where he lost out in quality, he made up in quantity…three different villains!
Melodramatic the film may be, but its a big big hit here in India. It was expected to do good business and as many as 588 prints have been released, a first for a Hollywood movie in India. About half of them (260) are in Hindi. The rest are in English (162), Telugu (81), Tamil (78), and Bhojpuri (6).
Its the first time ever that Bhojpuri prints have been released, a language which is often thought of as a poor cousin of Hindi. The Bhojpuri version has been dubbed so well (most Hindi versions of Hollywood movies are dubbed badly according to me) that (NDTV report), theatre owners who have taken on the Hindi prints don't want the Bhojpuri version in their city at all! Apparently, the Bhojpuri version has been translated brilliantly, by adding local flavour to the dialogues and the voiceover is that of the famous Bhojpuri actor Ravi Kishen. I heard him speak…and the man's talent and craft comes through in his voice. I compared him to the Hindi version, and as usual found that the voices were mechanical and flat. No wonder the Bhojpuri version is making mincemeat of the Hindi version!
Spidey 3 is doing such good business that in just three days it has made almost Rs 20 crore and these earnings are expected to double by the time the week is over, by today. Spidey 3 is expected to beat some Bollywood blockbusters of recent times, like Krrish.
Only action movies from Hollywood can break the language and cultural barriers here. The only other Hollywood film in that Spidey 3 can be compared with is Bond's Casino Royale, which released with 425 prints. And Casino Royale made about Rs 14.94 crore, about 30 percent less than Spiderman 3. Spiderman 3 is doing great worldwide too – the film has made over $150 million in its first weekend, breaking records.

For the second time in a month, Apple has effectively blacklisted the current version of the Java Web plugin on OS X. The block comes just days after it was discovered that the latest version of the plugin, which had been rushed out to patch a critical vulnerability, can still be exploited despite its heightened security mechanisms.
Apple has worked to distance itself from Java in recent years. The company deprecated its own version of the Java virtual machine for OS X, instead deferring development to Oracle itself. The browser plugin in particular has become a common vector for malware attacks, and Apple removed the Java Web plugin from recent versions of OS X last year. Those needing the plugin must install it separately.
Apple has also added additional security controls to OS X, including a mechanism that forces its Safari browser to use a minimum specified version of various plugins, such as Flash or Java. When security vulnerabilities are discovered in various plugins, Apple can update its Xprotect list to specify which version is acceptable. Earlier versions of plugins are then blocked from running within Safari.
Apple has used the Xprotect minimum version mechanism to effectively block the Java Web plugin by specifying a future version number that hasn't been released. It used this technique earlier this month when a particularly "critical" exploit in the plugin was discovered by security researchers and was determined to be "massively exploited in the wild."
Oracle worked to quickly fix the bug, and it released a new version (JRE version 1.7.0_11-b21) of the Java plugin a few days later. Apparently the fix wasn't complete—one part of the vulnerability still existed—but Oracle also set the plugin's default security setting to "high," which required users to actively click "OK" to run any unsigned or self-signed Java applets. Java applets signed by trusted authorities would still run without user intervention.
Unfortunately, the security mechanism itself turned out to be vulnerable due to additional bugs discovered in the Java frameworks. Security researchers revealed on Sunday that the bug could allow unsigned applets to run inside a browser without prompting a user to allow its execution.
It appears that Apple has once again decided to block the Java plugin from running on OS X by requiring an as-yet unreleased version (JRE version 1.7.0_11-b22) in Xprotect, according to MacGeneration. Users who rely on Java applets for specific functions, such as banking, will have to try alternate browsers such as Chrome or Firefox.
Such alternatives might not be available for long, however. Chrome is increasingly blocking plugins with known security vulnerabilities. On Tuesday, Mozilla announced that it will soon block Java in Firefox. While Firefox already uses a mechanism similar to Xprotect, which requires minimum approved versions of plugins and uses "click to play" by default, a future version will block all content that requires Java, Adobe Reader, or Microsoft Silverlight to play. Users who want content based on those software frameworks will have to explicitly approve it by clicking on an icon.

My Faith: Raising religious (but not too religious) children
Editor's note: Laurel Snyder is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, a poet and author of many books for children. Follow her on Twitter at @laurelsnyder.
By Laurel Snyder, Special to CNN
(CNN) - A few years ago I was invited to my local Jewish Community Center to do a reading of my picture book "Baxter, the Pig Who Wanted to Be Kosher." It was going to be a child-friendly event, so I took my kids along.
Now, "Baxter" isn't really a book about being kosher. It's about wanting to be accepted into a community. But I always like to make sure my listeners know what the word kosher means before I read it, since the joke at the center of the book depends on that. So as usual I asked the Jewish Community Center crowd if they could define the word.
Before anyone else could answer, my own son Mose, who was 5 at the time, jumped up and shouted out, "I know! I know! Kosher is us! We're kosher!" Then he sat back down again, beaming proudly.
And I might have been proud too. Only, you see, we're not kosher.
On the drive home I tried to figure out what to say to Mose about his mix-up. I wanted him to know what it means to be kosher, to live by a rigid religious dietary code, day in and day out. But I also needed him to understand that we're not.
How could I show respect for this part of our Jewish tradition while also suggesting that it doesn't seem relevant in our own household? Should I just blame it on my own parents, who didn't raise me that way?
CNN's Belief Blog: The faith angles behind the biggest stories
It's not easy to explain something to a kid when you haven't yet figured it out for yourself. One of the most helpful/terrible things about having children is that they require us to think things out explicitly. That often means they make us face the very things we've been avoiding.
Sometimes, as a result, kids challenge us to become more mindful or observant. I hadn't been a member of a synagogue for years when I became a mom. I hadn't hosted a Passover Seder or found the time to light Shabbat candles.
Even though I worked for a Jewish agency and wrote about religion professionally, when it came to my home life I was almost completely unobservant. Judaism was something I thought about more intellectually than personally. Religion was an interesting idea more than a belief system.
Now I light candles each week and say the blessings. I belong to a havurah – a cohort of local Jewish friends who get together for monthly potluck dinners – and also a synagogue.
Follow the CNN Belief Blog on Twitter
Because there's something about having kids that makes me want to be a better version of my Jewish self. I want something special to pass on to them. Something more than "You're Jewish because I'm Jewish."
But sometimes the opposite is true. Sometimes my kids help me recognize the limits of my faith.
In truth, I do not keep kosher and I don't really want to. My husband is not Jewish, though we're raising our family to be. So, yeah, we eat tacos for Shabbat dinner most weeks and usually skip Friday night services.
This is the truth and I have to own it. I can only shift my life around so much without feeling inauthentic. Lying to my kids about my religious life is no way to model the value of faith.
So when, after the "Baxter"/kosher fiasco, I set out to write my new picture book, "Good night, laila tov" (laila tov means "good night" in Hebrew), I wanted to paint an honest portrait of my largely secular household.
I wanted my kids to recognize the family in my story as Jewish, but also as, well, like us. Which is to say, not exactly kosher.
On some level I was reacting to the fact that most of the Jewish picture books in my home feel like they're about someone else. They're usually set in a Polish village a century ago, or on the Lower East Side of New York City, where mothers cook and fathers pray.
I wanted "Good night, laila tov" to be a sort of lowest common denominator. Contemporary and universal. It's not about Jewish history, and it doesn't have a single rabbi in it. It won't teach you new Hebrew words or show you how to say a certain prayer.
It's just a story about a Jewish American family going camping, experiencing nature, love, work and rest. In writing it I hoped to capture something typical, something natural, something simple.
And it does present, to my mind, Jewish values: Nature is spiritual, and takes us beyond ourselves. Time spent with family is sacred.
The family in the book plants trees and picks up their campsite, because caring for the earth is part of Judaism, I think. Along with caring for each other.
But as I wrote, I found myself a little afraid that, in attempting to write a picture book for everyone, I was letting the Jewish particularity go. Aren't family nature, and environmentalism tenets of faith beyond the Jewish world, in every religion?
What did it say about me, my choices, my household, that the Jewish life I was choosing to depict looked like it could be any household at all?
Then I come back around to that moment with Mose, that moment of realizing I'd somehow misled him. Because whatever I'm unsure of, whatever I don't know about faith, I do know this: if it isn't honest, it doesn't count.
The purpose of faith, as I understand it, is to infuse life with greater meaning. To make it more real. Not to dress it up. Not to pretend.
My kids and I are on a journey together. We're setting out for parts unknown.
And while we may find ourselves changing as we trek along, there is a sacred quality in simply being who we are today. Of stopping on the trail and taking a deep breath. It's enough, I think, to be exactly who we are, kosher or not.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Laurel Snyder.

Yes. We require that someone (preferably a parent, guardian, foster parent, mentor, or associate who is interested in your success) come to the Information Session with you prior to enrollment. This same person must visit and meet with your career counselors monthly for the first four months of your enrollment. We strongly believe that when each student has someone interested in his or her success, achievement will follow!
Rules at the Center
Like any place, Potomac Job Corps Center has rules and regulations to follow. These rules are in place to help keep you safe, to help simulate the workforce environment, and to help eliminate distractions so you can succeed in academics and training. To provide the safest possible learning environment, Potomac Job Corps Center has a Zero Tolerance Policy for violence and drugs. Any student who violates this policy will be removed from the Job Corps program.
Students are expected to bring personal care and grooming items. Students should not bring expensive video and audio equipment, computers, and similar items. But, if you received a Job Corps computer and other tech gear to participate in online learning, you must bring that gear with you to your center. You'll use this equipment in some of your classes and outside of the classroom to help you study. Your admissions counselor can help you determine what items are appropriate to bring on center.
You are responsible for providing your own everyday clothes, but we have a clear set of expectations for student dress and personal appearance. Generally, articles of clothing with offensive wording, large amounts of jewelry, or any items that promote drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or violence are not allowed. Students are required to wear uniforms during the training day. Uniforms are provided by the center at no cost to you or your family.
We are discouraging and limiting all visitors to our centers to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Parents and guardians are asked to keep in touch with their students digitally to "Stop the Spread" of COVID-19.

Once these COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, Job Corps will provide you transportation to and from home for your initial trip to the center, during the winter and summer breaks, and for your return trip home when you leave the program. Any other trips home must be arranged and paid for by the student. Travel costs for winter and summer breaks are considered taxable by the federal government. Taxes will be taken out of your living allowance.
Every center has their own rules about what devices are and are not allowed, and most centers that allow cell phones restrict their use to designated areas. Check with your admissions counselor to learn the cell phone policy at your center.
Life at the Center
Yes, there is 24/7 security available at all Job Corps centers.
No. Potomac Job Corps Center serves both residential and nonresidential students, but most of our student population lives on campus. Please check with your admissions counselor for details.
Throughout your training, you will receive a bi-weekly basic living allowance. As your training progresses, your living allowance will increase. After you graduate, Job Corps can help you get started on your journey with a transition allowance. This allowance is based on your academic and career technical training achievement while in Job Corps.
At Job Corps, you learn at your own pace. Depending on the career area you choose and the learning pace you set for yourself. Our most successful Job Corps students remain in the program for at least 18 months to gain the knowledge and social skills needed for a new career.
Yes. No one will force you to stay if you're not happy at the center. All we ask is that you try your best to succeed. We promise you this: It will be difficult sometimes, and we will challenge you. But if you don't quit on us, we won't quit on you.
Students stay in separate male and female dormitories. There are up to four students in each dorm room. Your room will be assigned to you upon arrival at the center. Job Corps values diversity and will provide you with opportunities to live and interact with people of many different backgrounds.

For six months after graduation, a Job Corps Career Transition Specialist will keep in touch with you to make sure things are going well in your new career.
We have agreements with community colleges or related institutions to teach career area courses or to have individual students take courses to gain college credit. We can work with students to help them transfer into college programs when appropriate.

Two Mushroom Pates - Choose Sherried or Creamy
Sherried Mushroom Pate
Creamy Mushroom Pate
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite... I have two more recipes that I want to include among the dips and spreads we are collecting here at One Perfect Bite. While both are for a mushroom pate, they are quite different from each other in terms of taste and texture. One is almost perfectly smooth and figure friendly, the other is a bit chunky and caloric. Both are easy to prepare and can be used as a dip, spread or stuffing. Like all recipes of this type, the pate is wonderful for entertaining because it can be made a day or two before serving. While they are best made with a combination of dry and wild mushrooms, they can also be prepared with the plain ol' button or cremini variety. Unfortunately, these mushroom pates don't have a great deal of eye appeal and you'll have to be creative when you plate them. I know that those of you who are fans of mushrooms will enjoy both these recipes. We'll make it up to those of you who aren't in other posts. Here are the recipes for the two mushroom pates.
Sherried Mushroom Pate...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite adapted from Vegan Cooking
1-1/2 cups finely chopped mild white (sweet) onion
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 cups assorted finely chopped wild mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon dry thyme
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided use
1 cup toasted almonds, finely ground
2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
1) Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet. When oil shimmers, add onions and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in mushrooms and thyme and cook until mushrrom liquid is evaporated. Set aside.
2) Mix ground almonds with reserved 2 tablespoons olive oil in a separate bowl.
3) Combine mushrooms and almonds in the bowl of a food processor. Mix until smooth. Pulse in sherry wine vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and chill. Serve with crackers, sliced baguette, or vegetables. Yield: 1-3/4 cups.

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup minced shallots
2 cups finely chopped wild mushrooms
1/2 cup finely chopped Italian parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, cut in 8 pieces
3 tablespoons heavy cream
Salt and pepper
1) Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
2) Add shallots; cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring until softened, about 5 minutes. Continue cooking until any mushroom liquid has evaporated. Stir in parsley and thyme; cook, stirring, 30 seconds.
3) Remove from heat. Stir in cream cheese, a piece at a time, until melted and combined. Stir in heavy cream. Chill. Serve with crackers or in small tart shells. Yield: 1-1/2 cups.

Your sherried mushroom pate sounds amazing. I always think a little alcohol makes a pate creamy anyway so it's better for the diet. That's what I tell myself anyway. :)

Thanks for these recipes - I am always looking for dips that aren't cream cheese based (like your first version!). I wonder if it could be piped out using a large star tip? That might make for a pretty presentation. Thanks for sharing!!

Both pates look so appetizing, but I'm drawn to the sherry and almonds in the first one. This will be a lovely Mother's Day appetizer.

Very fun. I've had a mushroom pate on my 'to make' list from Epicurious for quite awhile now as there is one a local restaurant (The Green Zebra) makes that is out of this world. When I ordered it, it was so rich and luscious that it reminded me of foie gras. (Yes, it was that good!) You're making me think I may want to make it for an event I have coming up.

They both look great! The creamy one reminds me a bit of duxelle. I adore mushrooms in all forms, so how they look is not a problem for me!

Behind The Scenes with Kaye England
A Country Home
After growing up in a Kentucky farm family, quilt designer and collector Kaye England now lives on an 8-acre farm and home outside of Indianapolis. Here she is with Foxy Lady, one of her five llamas.
Just for Fun
Ethel the goat keeps watch while Kaye prepares to get her portrait taken down at the barn. Although she does use the wool from the llamas for needle-punch, Kaye says they (and the three goats and 19 chickens) are there just because she loves the animals and they make her laugh.
Outdoor Beauty
Kaye feels free to bring some of her quilts outside during the day. This 1930s Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt sits on the porch of the garden shed. "I just don't want to own anything that I can't enjoy," Kaye says.
Quilts Everywhere
There are even quilts in the breezeway between Kaye's home and office. While the quilt on the wall is in disrepair, Kaye felt compelled to buy it at an auction because another bidder planned on using it as a liner for a dog bed. A Double Wedding Ring quilt made by Kaye's grandmother is draped on the yellow chair and an unfinished quilt top adorns the table.
Caring for Quilts
Kaye stores the oldest quilts in her collection up high so light doesn't reach them as much. She also moves all her quilts around regularly and refolds them so they're "happier and healthier."
Civil War Tumbler
Kaye, who has over 100 quilts from the 19th century, says this Tumbler quilt dates from the 1860s. Most of its 1x1-1/2" pieces are cut from dark prints, but every once in a while there is an unexpected bright piece like this orange patch.
Tiny Flying Geese
Tiny quilts are displayed in table-top vignettes all over Kaye's home. This miniature Flying Geese quilt (pinned to the inside of a vintage suitcase as part of a display in the guest bedroom) is a mere 4x7".
Australian Inspiration
In addition to her antique and vintage quilts, Kaye collects current pieces. On one of her teaching trips to Australia, Kaye bought Deb Nichol's "Magpie Meeting" wall hanging at Barassa Quilting Cottage in West Adelaide. Wool appliqués of magpies and their many activities adorn an overdyed army blanket used as the foundation fabric.
At Home Sewing
"My sewing space in my home has in-progress things and inspirations" Kaye says. On the right-hand side of her design wall, she auditions a setting for antique Log Cabin blocks.
Very Vintage
Sets of antique blocks fill baskets in Kaye's sewing room. While mostly used for inspiration, Kaye sometimes incorporates them into new quilts. She also has antique quilt tops, which she typically doesn't quilt because they're too fragile.
Combining Old and New
An example of old and new is the front quilt on the quilt rack, where antique blocks merge with new setting squares. The border is a reproduction print (from American Folk & Fabric) in a home-decorating weight.
Signature Collection
Throughout her office and sewing room, Kaye displays women's history artifacts, which prompted her Voices of the Past pattern series. Among the items in her collection are signatures from influential women like Amelia Earhart, the namesake of one of the newest patterns.
Amazing Storage
Three closets of hundreds of Kaye's quilts (mostly Kaye's designs) downstairs in the finished basement. "I used laminate on the shelves so the quilts wouldn't be harmed by being stored on wood," Kaye says. She also runs a dehumidifier all the time because, as she says, "You can mildew the bottom of stacked quilts real fast."

The wisdom of this world is a deception that clouds the minds of men. It hinders us from seeing or accepting the truth of God.
It takes divine wisdom to cut through this deception. Ask God to provide the wisdom that comes down from above.
Ps 49:3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom; the utterance from my heart will give understanding.
Lord, You are the true and living God, You rule over all things visible and invisible. There is nothing that catches You by surprise, and there is nothing beyond your reach. You know our rising up and our sitting down. You know when we go out and when we come in.
Lord, as

Oracle Openworld – Day 4 Highlights October 16, 2009Posted by Richard Foote in Oracle OpenWorld, Richard's Musings.
I set out to reduce my pace today with only limited success.
My first session was to attended Alex Gorbachev and Paul Vallee's Unconference session on how to make DBAs highly available. Interesting discussion on some of the various challenges confronting DBAs, such as controlling the balance between the need for stability and availability vs. the need of some organisations for constant change requirements and the importance of delivering such change as quickly as possible. Also, whether the procedures and processes for managing and controlling change management, including industry and governmental governance requirements are a help and a good thing or a hindrance and a threat in just getting the job done. The answer IMHO is that it depends on how such guidelines are implement and policed. It's somehow comforting to know that other DBAs face similar issues and concerns as your own.
I then attended an excellent presentation on the new features associated with Data Guard in 11g Release 2 (except for the section where an Apple customer described his experiences with Data Guard, during which I simply couldn't understand a single word he said). This is certainly all of great interest for us at work with the ability of being able to configure a read-only database farm having obvious business potential. However, I was particularly impressed by the ability of Oracle when confronted with a block corruption to automatically fix the corruption by copying a healthy version of the block from a standby database (or indeed the Primary database if the corruption appears on the Standby side). The key word here is automatically and without a single error message being raised, except for a message written to the alert log. Impressive stuff.
The lunch today was simply superb, absolutely the nicest lunch I can ever enjoy having. Please note these comments are addressed specifically to Chris Muir who missed out on lunch and was hungry all afternoon as a result 🙂
Then spend some time in the OTN lounge, catching up with a number of folks, including Cary Millsap. Looks like I might very well be presenting at the Hostsos Symposium next year if I can get enough free time organised.
Watched Larry's Keynote address from the OTN lounge. I had a press pass that enabled me to watch the keynote up close but the free beers on offer at the OTN lounge convinced me this is the place to be 😉 There wasn't a lot new announced that I didn't already know, although the 10 million dollar Exadata challenge to IBM is typical Ellison. However the highlight for me was the speech by Arnold Schwarzenegger during the keynote, very funny.
After missing out on all the prize draws yet again (I never, ever win these sorts of things, ever), I despondently made my way back to the hotel. Had a lovely dinner with my family who are over doing all the sightseeing things while I'm at the conference beforing making my way to the Oracle Appreciation Event on Treasure Island. Popped into the Aerosmith concert for 5 minutes, tick, seen them now and then over to see dear old Roger Daltrey who performed a really good set of mainly Who classics. Oracle certainly know how to put on an excellent show. However for me, the highlight was actually the coach ride to and from the event with the stunning views of the San Francisco lights as we crossed the Bay Bridge.
sadly, it all comes to an end tomorrow …

European Watch Company maintains the highest possible standard in the industry when it comes to the quality of our timepieces. Prior to being listed for sale, every one of our watches are five position tested and meticulously inspected by our on-staff watchmakers. Our goal is to make sure that our watches are in exceptional "like new" condition, both mechanically and cosmetically, so they are ready to wear right when they are delivered to you. To provide further peace of mind, we provide a one year limited warranty on all our timepieces. We have worked very hard over the last 30 years to build up our 5-star reputation. We are confident that we can find the perfect watch for you to cherish and enjoy!
I have been dealing with European Watch Company for over ten years, and have purchased several wrist watches, including IWC, Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Jaeger-LeCoultre. They were not only fairly priced but arrived in like-new condition, fully warranted by European Watch Company. This company has an attentive, knowledgeable staff, a large inventory, and is a genuine pleasure to deal with.
P.V. Pawel
Just completed my 7th transaction with EWC and for the 7th time the transaction was smooth, flawless and quick. Joshua is quick to respond to any e-mails and answer any questions. Ashley knows how to complete the necessary paperwork to avoid any delays at Customs as I am located in Canada and all paperwork needs to be completed perfectly which she is an expert at. You only want to deal with the best and the team at EWC is the best. There is a Yiddish word to describe the people at EWC and that word is mensches which translates to people of integrity and honour.
Jeff B.
Winnipeg, Canada
After a lengthy search I located the Patek Philippe I desired at EWC, but the decision to make a high dollar purchase over the internet was a difficult one. Through numerous emails with Justin and looking at reviews of EWC I made the decision to proceed and I am now ECSTATIC. The watch is exactly as described and pictured. It was perfectly packaged and shipped FedEx overnight. My watch collection now includes the watch I have been seeking for over a year.In summary, you can deal with the EWC staff with confidence. They are professional, honest and you will receive a quality watch which will put a smile on your face.
Chuck J.
Phoenix, AZ
I live in San Francisco but the EWC website is the first place I check once I get an impulse for a particular watch. EWC's website is cozy and feels like home. I enjoy the photos, presentation, description and historical notes of each item and really like their next day delivery, so I stay loyal to them. Sometimes I must wait awhile for a watch to become available but can usually find anything I want. Then there are the watches you never knew you wanted until you see them here.
Scott Blalock
San Francisco
Dear EWC, I have just completed my very first purchase with your company: a mint Lange Datograph. Robert was extremely help throughout the process with the item delivered nicely packed to my Hong Kong address within days. The condition of the watch was absolutely mint as described and has exceeded my expectations, even under a loupe! I will be a return customer in no time. Well done!

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
Those Sony Ericsson models are Symbian UIQ. They're actually quite different since they have a touch-screen interface and the UI is very different. We have a P900 here that we intend to get it working on, however it's been a lower priority since those phones are actually not ideal as remote controls. The touch-screen interface is nice, and the display is big, but for channel surfing and other tasks in a dark room, and general remote control operation, most people prefer physical hard buttons. The S.E. Px series don't have an up/down/left/right/enter joystick to navigate on-screen menus. The regular, non-touchscreen phones, while not as "cool", actually make better remotes since they have more physical buttons.
If not, we'll need to compile it will the latest sdk.

Wednesday's convention programming followed Tuesday's standard script: red meat for the base in the early hours, capped off with a slightly sweeter offering in prime time for independent consumption.
But there was nothing routine about Bill Clinton's speech. The 48-minute address - nearly 3,200 words of prepared text and a thousand more of classic Clinton riffs - checked off nearly every item on the Obama campaign's wish list:
• Appeal to the persuadable who cite bipartisanship as a key quality: Clinton praised Eisenhower. He quoted Reagan. He even got an arena-full of loyal Democrats to cheer George W. Bush.
"Through my foundation, in America and around the world, I work with Democrats, Republicans and independents who are focused on solving problems and seizing opportunities, not fighting each other," Clinton said. "When times are tough, constant conflict may be good politics but in the real world, cooperation works better."
Post by: Rebecca Sinderbrand
Filed under: 2012 Election • Bill Clinton • Democratic National Convention
Tampa may have missed the wrath of Hurricane Issac but Hurricane Clinton swept the Democratic Convention with powerful case to re-elect Obama. His speech will be in our minds years from now.
I agree that Clinton's speech on behalf of President Obama was enthralling! Former President Clinton always has something to offer! He is smart and has kindness for humanity, and the world in its entirety!
The mark that hit me from his speech is the one where Clinton that if you want a country of shared prosperity and shared responsibility, we're all in this together society than vote for Obama. I think Clinton meant to say many of you get up at 6:00Am to go to work so that you can financially support those that get up at 10:00AM, those that have learned to manipulate the system and rely on the system for their existence. And when you guys that work have bills to pay, you are on your own.
